My old looking hands and horribly bitten nails as of today! I will update with my progress on stopping trying to stop biting my nails and making my hands beautiful respectable!
This is me trying to shame myself into doing something about it!!
9th April 2012 - Nearly 2 months since setting out to succeed at this challenge, however it hasn't happened they are probably worse than ever! I really don't know how to succeed with this one!
5th May 2013 - 13 months have passed and my nails are no better! In desperation I have downloaded an app for my i-phone called ... wait for it ... "stop nail biting!" which you can view in i tunes here. I have listened to the male hypnotist tonight for the first time. If nothing else it will help me sleep even if I don't stop biting my nails. I feel incredibly relaxed and extremely tired now! I will listen to it daily and hope its the miracle cure I have been searching for! Pop back soon to get any updates!

5 weeks have passed since I started listening to the hypnotist on my i phone and it appears to be working! I don't want to get too excited but I have a little bit of white nail for the first time in my life!!! I think next on my to do list is to go and get a professional manicure as my cuticles are in dire need of some attention ... but hey I can cope with that!
Still growing them! When does it classify as I have stopped biting them?!!

I'm a little bit excited as today I am off to get a manicure at The Castle Green Hotel! At the age of 46 this will be my first manicure on my own REAL nails! Would you believe it if I said my nails are actually getting too long now and need cutting!! YES! CUTTING!
So off I went to get pampered.
The first thing I had to do was select a nail colour which was difficult to start with and then she started! She couldn't believe I had stopped biting my nails through an i-phone app and to be honest neither can I!!! She filed them to the desired length and shape, pushed down and trimmed my cuticles, she exfoliated my hands and the best bit was a hand and lower arm massage using a lovely smelling lotion - arrrrrr bliss!
Once I was totally relaxed and my hands were deliciously soft she applied a base coat, my choice of varnish and finished off with a top coat! I then got to sit on a lovely squishy comfy sofa with magazines and a coffee whilst my nails dried!
So I am ticking this off my list as fait accompli and I hope when I reach 50 my nails will still be respectable!!
